Love Poem: Fractions

Fractions

I started off running from my fears,
Hoping they would stay in the past and reclusive;
But the biggest fear of all is staring me straight in the face-
And her eyes melt me down to nothing.

That feeling in my stomach- the one that makes you weak but no less wiser,
It's all I have left to hold on to.

The colour that surrounds her is quite simply mystifying-
An ingenious indigo that beautifies such a fatal afterglow.

Time stands still as she walks on by-
The silence is so much that you can hear her heart beating consistently.

There are no words, there are no actions,
Between me and her, there are only fractions-

But it's enough to feel her slipping away from me,
It's enough to feel alone again...
